He was driven out of multiple positions by an allegation which is so unsubstantiated the alleged victim herself disclaims it. Complaining about the new McCarthyism doesn’t make one a reactionary any more than participating in it makes one a hero. He may be motivated by sour grapes, as you suggest. You’ve got to make that case, though; not just state it’s obvious. But even if you’re right, it’s absolutely irrelevant to his argument. What you’ve done here is simply attacked his character without evidence and without addressing the actual issue.
